YOUTH PRODUCTION NETWORK
From jungles to inner cities, deserts to townships, the Youth Production Network (YPN) is a global community of new generation leaders, using their creative and production skills to change the world.
YPN...a new era of inspiration!
Inspired by Nelson Mandela and launched in 2010, YPN was the first global support network for young leaders in the live music production industry.
